Kacy Catanzaro Would Love To Be The Mighty Female Thor, Could ‘Thor 4’ Have A Woman Thor?

Kacy Catanzaro is saying she would love to be the new female Thor in a movie if Disney ever gets around to introducing the latest Lady Thor twist in the comics. But what other career options is the amazing gymnast considering now that she’s become famous as the first woman to make it all the way through American Ninja Warrior?

When it was announced that a woman who was five foot tall and only 100 pounds managed to beat American Ninja Warrior, there seemed to be a lot of shock, and even skepticism, that this amazing feat could be pulled off with someone with those physical parameters. Personally, I did not find it shocking at all as a rock climber. Women in that same range of height and build often pull off crazy routes, including the best of the best professionals. For example, I recently attended a college level national championship and the only woman to complete the final route was about the same height and weight, and she went up the inverted wall like it was nothing (I could not finish even a fourth of the route without falling once).

So Kacy Catanzaro is definitely mighty, and #mightykacy was even trending on Twitter at one point, but does she have enough to be Marvel’s Mighty Thor? Kacy told ABC that people are already telling her she would make the perfect woman Thor:

“I’ve gotten a lot of tweets, ‘Oh there’s a new Thor, a woman, it should be you.’ I’m like, ‘OK, sign me up.”

Well, Catanzaro apparently feels herself worthy enough for the task. The gymnast also says she has been trying to break into Hollywood as a stunt woman for movies or the TV shows. She says she knows of other people who have been trying to get a break for 10 years without cracking into the stunt industry, but she feels her American Ninja Warrior success may do the trick:

“My boyfriend Brent, he’s been a stuntman for like five years. Every time I watch him, I’m like, ‘I would love to do that,’ but it is so hard to get into. I do hope that some people will notice me and this might get me in that world. I want to do that sometime soon.”

Do you think Kacy Catanzaro is worthy of becoming the female Thor if they ever do a Thor 4 movie without (the suddenly unworthy) Chris Hemsworth?
